Use a shared evaluation workspace safely

Explore a trial, sandbox, or shared evaluation workspace without disrupting data, access, configuration, or billing.

Outcome: Explore the product and create approved test records without disrupting a shared workspace.

For: Anyone using a shared trial, sandbox, or evaluation workspace
Permission: Use the exact action resource permission required by the task you choose
Time: 5 minutes
Changes made: None unless you choose a write action

If you're stuck

  • Stop before a second write action; repeated changes make recovery harder.
  • Record the current page URL, record ID, action, timestamp, and time zone.
  • Use only the verified undo instructions in the matching task guide.

Before you start

  • Confirm that you are in the intended company workspace.
  • Ask the workspace owner to approve sanitized test information before use.
  • Give temporary records a clear prefix your team recognizes, such as Test.
  • Keep a list of anything you create so it can be reviewed and removed safely.

Safe read-only actions

  1. Search, filter, sort, and paginate tables.
  2. Switch among available inventory views.
  3. Open assets, Elements, Collections, Structures, Asset Types, and catalog entries.
  4. Explore a Relationship Graph and change its visual filters or depth.
  5. Review company, role, usage, and subscription information already visible to you.

Expected result: Your exploration does not create a save confirmation, unsaved-change bar, invitation, import job, or billing action.

Ask before making these changes

  • Create, edit, attach, detach, publish, hide, restore, or delete a shared record
  • Add, test, refresh, disable, or remove an integration
  • Run a bulk import
  • Invite a member or change a role
  • Change company settings
  • Change a plan, payment method, or subscription state

Never enter production credentials, passwords, tokens, private keys, real customer data, unnecessary personal information, or payment details.

Recover from an accidental change

  1. Stop before making another change.
  2. Record the page URL, record name or ID, action, timestamp, and time zone.
  3. Use a verified undo or detach action once when the result is clear.
  4. Do not delete other records to hide the change.
  5. Contact Support if the impact is uncertain.

Check your result

Continue after you can identify the read-only actions and the actions that require approval. Record how to remove every temporary record you create.
